I read somewhere that a "Skip Tooth Blade" is the blade to use when resawing on a bandsaw. Would appreciate comments on the use of one. Also how many TPI would be optimum.
The thing is having as few teeth as possible in the work as possible. The fewer the teeth the more saw dust is removed. Lots of teeth gives a smoother cut but the saw dust remaining in the cut slot causes heat build up and even wandering, hard on saw too. Just remember to leave a little undercut to allow for planing or sanding.
For a board 8" max height the woodslicer from HT does a great job.After that they don't do so good.I know I have been using them on a 7 1/4 BS for about 4 yrs or more and they did great,BUT I got another BS and raised it to a 13" resaw capacity 1st thing I did was get the woodslicer BAD MOVE at 9" an over it is worthless,as it will not track at all.So I am going with Lenox blades for the big guy.
